Build your own smart irrigation system

Farmers can now build their own electronic devices to save water in agriculture thanks to some engineers who are sharing the plans. For the Gyro Gearloose in you: The website Hackster puts it this way:

This is the project from the motivation of the farmers working in the farm lands are solely dependent on the rains and bore wells for irrigation of their land. In recent times, the farmers have been using irrigation technique through the manual control in which the farmers irrigate the land at regular intervals by turning the water-pump ON/OFF when required. Moreover, for the power indication they are glowing a single bulb between any one of phase and neutral, meanwhile when there is any phase deduction occurs in other phases, the farmer cannot know their supply is low. If they Switch ON any of the motor, there will be the sudden defuse in motor circuit. They may have to travel so far for SWITCHING ON/OFF the motor. They may be suffering from hot Sun, rain and night time too. After reaching their farm, they found that there is no power, so they quietly disappointed to it!! Is there any solution for it??? Let’s check our solution.

Walmart has filed a patent for autonomous robotic bees, technically called pollination drones, that could potentially pollinate crops just like real bees. The drones would carry pollen from one plant to another, using sensors and cameras to detect the locations of the crops. First spotted by CB Insights, the robot bee patent appears along five other...
